For a boy who was raised in a very cautious, glass-like world, he sure likes to smash boundaries. Hyperactive, energetic, and impulsive; he lives on a precarious edge. As a result, he’s not very good at decision-making, and often does stupid things without thinking about the later consequences. Marcello has a quick-temper, and a quicker tongue. Although funny usually, he can get very snarky and sarcastic. And when he’s in a grumpy mood, he’ll be sure to let everyone know. He’s pretty mouthy, and frequently says things without the consideration for others’ feelings. He’s neither the most sensitive nor the most empathetic person. Don't be fooled though, Marco is all bark and no bite or at least that's how most people look at him. It takes a lot to actually get him to fight physically with someone. He believes in not throwing the first punch in most situations and would love to stay a pacifist if at all possible.
Marco is laid-back usually going with the flow of things. He is also very independent but sometimes his independent nature can go as far as to becoming a fault. He doesn't like to admit he's wrong or ask for help, in his opinion that's a sign of weakness. Bravery is something else he has but his bravery can be reckless most of the time. All in all, Marco is a good guy who likes to lighten the mood of things with a few jokes though most of his attempts end in disaster.
| Dreams |
Cooking | One of his guilty pleasures. He loves to cook and is surprisingly quite good at it, as his boyfriend always tells him. His brothers always tell him he'd make the perfect house wife just to tease him. He'd like to pursue a career in culinary and is actually taking online college culinary courses.
Family | Honestly, Marco always wanted to have a family. He wanted to have a regular wife with two kids like any other person but sadly he knows that will never happen. Though he still would like to adopt kids if ever given the chance.
| Fears |
Large Bodies of Water | He never learned how to swim as a child and after being thrown into the deep end of the pool by his father, he never wanted to learn.
His Father | Upsetting or disappointing his father is something he doesn't wish to do. Marco's father is a very scary and powerful man who doesn't give any of his children special treatment.
Claustrophobia | Marco is extremely afraid of being confined in small spaces and when he is, he will often hyperventilate and get a small anxiety attack. He hates small spaces and doesn't like people getting to close in his comfort zone.

| Distinguishing Marks |
Scars | Marco has a long thin cutting mark across his back from when he was a kid. Him and his second oldest brother were fighting in their tree house and eventually he was accidentally pushed out of the tree by Calvin. His back was scraped across a big rock that he fell on. His left hand is a little messed up from when he punched a VCR. He was angry and did something stupid. He can't fully clench his left hand now and even has a few small scars on his knuckles.
Piercings | Marco isn't a big fan of piercings and actually only has one from a dare. He got a belly piercing at the age of 15 when he was dared by his oldest brother.
| History |
Marcello was born into a family of five with two older brothers, a father, and a mother who passed away before Marco was even six because of a drunk driver who decided to get behind the wheel, intoxicated, like a fool. Marcello didn't take the absence of a mother as hard as the rest of his family did since he was so young at the time. Though he didn't remember much of his mother, or at all for that matter, he always loved hearing the stories his older brothers would tell him about their mother. To say the least, Marco would of loved to meet the woman that helped give him life.
Being raised under one roof with three other guys wasn't easy. With no mother figure at all their wasn't any sensitivity or sugar coding or anything like that. If Marco got hit by one of his brothers then his father would just tell him to man up and stop crying. His father, Vino Salvator, was a hard working man who didn't have enough time to play around with his children. Vino worked as a professional architect who came home late and got to work early. The man didn't spend much of his time with his children but he did make sure that they were raised properly, what was considered proper to him, that is. Marco and his brothers had many nanny's, who would either get fired or get chased away by the three Salvator brothers who didn't very much like being watched over by some lady. Vino made sure his kids got good grades and that they participated in after school activities. Marco was another story though, he had to get many tutors and he was pretty bad at sports so he wasn't a favored child although Vino would never say that he had a favorite kid. Vino was a very strict man and weakness was not something he wanted his kids to show and if they ever stepped out of line, you could count on their father to whip them back into shape. To Marco, he had a pretty normal childhood and even the constant pressure of acceptance from his father was normal to all the Salvator brothers. Even in high school, he would work towards the approval of his father though it was his oldest brother that his father would boast about to others.
After high school, Marco moved out of the house and went on to Ohio State University with the help of his father who promised to help pay with the fees. Well him attending OSU only lasted about a year, he dropped out after having enough with Architecture classes. Honestly, he only started to major in architect because he had no idea what career he wanted to pursue and he knew his father would help with the fees if he took an interest in his fathers career. Well with dropping out, his father wasn't going to let him live at home so Marco decided to move to Massachusetts and live with his second oldest brother. Within four months of moving into his brothers place, Marco had landed himself a decent job as a barista. It wasn't the most interesting job but it kept him afloat. He also began to start exploring the option of dating men rather than using a fake girlfriend as his beard which he had done a lot as a teenager. Marco then met his current boyfriend, Westley Porter. He had met West through a dating website which in his opinion was a better way to meet guys rather than going to a gay bar where he would feel super nervous. It took them about two months of chatting online before they actually met up with each other, face to face. After their first date, many dates were to trail behind the first and then they began dating. After three months of dating West, Marco decided to pursue his dream of entering a Culinary career and began to take classes online and with the urge of his boyfriend they moved in together after six months of dating. It took ten months for Marco to actually work up the courage to tell his family about his boyfriend which ended badly. He hasn't talked to his father since but his brothers seem to still be on good terms with Marco.
Currently Marco is finally meeting the great Porter family that he has heard much about. Surprisingly, West has never before brought up the thought of introducing Marco to his family before but after two years of dating he finally did. Honestly, Marco never pressured about meeting the family since he understands but his boyfriend never mentioned why he didn't want Marco to meet his family sooner. Hopefully, Marco makes a good impression.
| Most Proud Moment |
"My most proud moment? Well, to be honest, I don't have many but I would have to say my most proud moment is when I finally told my family about me being gay and about my current boyfriend."
| Most Traumatic Moment |
"Now these I have a lot of. My most recent traumatic moment is when my father beat the shit out of me after I told him I was gay though I probably should of seen it comin'. I'm fine though, he hit a lot harder before he entered his forties."
